Late Autumn

autumn rains were most welcome 

after a dry summer

(I wish I could send it to California, along with the snow we got)

on an old log in the woods

seeing aqua logs in the woods is always a joy

they can be found, but not that many

autumn colors are past now

it was a lovely season

then the snow arrived....

so darn pretty

I thought winter arrived

but in most places it has melted away

( I live in a snow belt, the snow is still here )

the gentle lovely light of sunset

autumn leaning towards winter

lovely days and nights to you

Gorgeous Autumn

gorgeous autumn weather beckoned

come camp in me

trails enticed to be walked on

the colors were thrilling

literally

leaves illumined

offered sunlight

with gentle brilliance

paths as sacred trails

to take one deeply into the land

sweet clouds appeared around mountain tops

like breath

the sort of 
weather
color
and 
walk
one dreams of in autumn

~
I feel so thankful to have been there
